During this time, we started preparing a strategy for our next development campaign that will assist Treasury in the above-cited areas. Working with the Department, we identified seven high priority and high interest restoration projects in the Treasury Building and seven education projects, including THA’s planned one-hour documentary on the history of the Treasury Building and some of the important events that occurred within it that affect America’s economy. As a nonprofit organization with no paid employees, we depend completely on the generosity of our volunteers who devote extensive time to manage the Association and you, our members and other donors who provide contributions that enable us to continue our mission to assist the Department of the Treasury. Thank you for your generosity. Significant contribution of both volunteer time and funding has permitted THA to continue its mission into what is now our 47th year of operation. And, I want to express my great appreciation to the directors who have spent a great number of hours throughout the past two years in managing the operations of the Association. We appreciate your support in the past, and we hope we can continue to count on your generosity in future years, as we continue our two-fold missions of historic preservation and education.
